I really like this idea. Although it may be off-putting to some, but I think it's a more unique take on a flight co-op. My wife read this news and was immediately hyped for the co-op. So I'm entirely game for this.

Honestly, I think that the Gamepad could play a huge part in Nintendo appealing to Indie gamers and developers. The gamepad features a touchscreen and motion sensitivity, which is a trait that many Android and iOS Indie games have. If Nintendo can really rally the Indie market, the Wii U could make a far better dent in that market than the PS4 or XBO.

The problem isn't the system. It's Nintendo's approach. They don't do enough advertising. There needs to be commercials because no one knows what the heck the Wii U is. I remember that there used to be a ton of commercials for the original Wii and that's why it sold well.

Personally I think that they should hype the fact that many classic games will be playable in HD for the first time.

If Nintendo of America were more diligent with bringing over more titles, this wouldn't be a problem. It's not as though only minor titles are not being brought over, even Dragon Quest seems to be falling through the cracks.
